THE BLOG CANDY WINNER - Congratulations goes Jenny from Cards and Crafting!  Jenny, please email me your info and I will get your goodies right out to you!  It's so exciting to get new stuff to play with...especially when it's FREE!

Todays card was made from Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 112 I love this sketch..  There is so much you can do with it and make small changes for a whole different look. I got a little carried away with the layers but I love the way it turned out.  I think it was my favorite card I made last week.   

I started with a Rose Red base and layered Wild Wasabi and So Saffron.  Using the scallop circle I made a template and daubered the clouds iin the background of the shimmery white cardstock.  I created the side embellishment using the 3/4" circle punch and layered them down the side.  The sentiment is stamped on shimmery white and matted using the scallop oval.  For the finishing touch I added the butterfly with a dimensional!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Birthday Embossed Acetate Card / BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY!!!

TGIF!  I am so ready for the weekend and it's supposed to be a nice one! I've got some stuff to prepare for a friend but other than that hopefully we will be beach bound and get a little shopping in!

 Today I am featuring one of my favorite cards.  It is made with Embossed Acetate.  I ran the top half of the card (acetate) through the Lots of Dots embossing folder and placed a piece of Perfect Plum cardstock on the inside for the base.  I colored the flower with the Prismacolor pencils and did lots of shading for the beautiful detail. I used the upcoming new Designer Paper for the top of the card and the sentiment mat at the bottom.  I think it's just beautiful!
